      @Alex:

      It is very very slow fading black. The Japanese call it super black, but when we did a shrink test we noticed very faint signs of fading so to be truthful we cannot call it true super black. I have worn my 218 for over a year very regularly and it shows no real signs of fading. This is the same denim

      What kind of shrinkage did you get @Alex? I'm usually an L but the overall length and arm length are not as long as I'd like them to be, and the XL has a big PTP.

        Is it essentially the same as the fabric used on the IHSH-85? If so that thread has some good documented shrink tests (by myself, amongst others [emoji1]).

          So you reckon shrinkage in all dimensions @neph93?

          Taking a look at the 85 thread..

              ordered….. first IH workshirt.
              Completes the cycle. Now 1 work, 1 western UHF, 2 CPOs (I don't know if having a 178 in L and in M counts as two, but probably need to sell the M).

              Can't wait!

                    Got mine today, too.  I was afraid it'd be too boxy but dang, it's practically tailor-fit for me!  And I looooooove the orange thread used on the inside of the shirt!  Just a great little punch of color.

                    Blanket-line all the things!!!

                      I agree. Not boxy at all. What size did you get?

                        Now that I have this one for some time, I love it. First IH work shirt and I was nervous the cut would be boxy and unflattering since I tend to have a smaller waist in relation to my shoulders and chest (and chicken legs). It is anything but that. It feels tailored in the chest, shoulders, arms and even the bottom.

                        Definitely my new favorite shirt.

                        Added photos, but you can see why i hardly post any. Not a good selfie taker (and not interested in getting better).

                          Looks great!

                          I went with a large. Same size as my UHFs.  Really happy with all of the work shirts that have been released in the last few weeks!

                                      It's a workshirt with snaps, you work the rest out  😃 😃 😃

                                      Basically, we have given up a never-ending battle to get the buttonholes super-crisp and faultless on our 12oz denim shirts, so we're going forward with snaps.
